When using a UAV group under conditions of complete suppression of any radio navigation signals, there is a need to solve local navigation problems to determine the location of each of the group members using radio signals from the group objects themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to somehow synchronize signals within the group and have the ability to resynchronize in the event of a new group member. To consider the previously described methods of synchronizing information within a group of aircraft, in particular UAVs, for subsequent assessment of applicability in creating an algorithm for solving local navigation problems.

A review of existing algorithms was conducted and several promising ones were selected for future research. The obtained results allow a more accurate assessment of the applicability for solving local navigation problems within a UAV group under complete jamming of GNSS signals.
